I think our english language doesn't make sense. Yes, it's the only language I speak and have spoke all my life. But when it comes to pronuncing names it never follows one rule. For example, my name Diana is pron. (di ann uh) but the name Kiana is pron (kee ahn uh). It's spelled the exact same as my name but pron. totally diff. Another one is Alicia, looks like (uh lee see uh) but most people pron it (uh lee sha). I just don't get it...

And just to talk about how stupid people are at spelling and pron. names... my name Diana is constantly being said Diane. I've dealt with this all my life and it's so annoying. When teachers see it on a paper Diana they say Diane. I've also been called (dee ann uh), (dee awn uh), (di awn uh), and I know there's more. People have spelled my name Dianna (which is sensible), Diania, Diannah, and others I just can't remember. Ugh... ppl are so stupid! First of all Princess Diana was sp. and said exactly like mine and no one had problems pron. and sp. her name but mine they do. What the heck is the difference?!
